I hear people leave out adverbs all the time and it makes me want to scream. They'll say, "This tupperware seals air tight and it works wonderful." My husband just pats me on the shoulder and whispers 'wonderfully', don't snap.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04610208244881298012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428247.post-28793532028340405142010-03-17T17:02:49.083-07:002010-03-17T17:02:49.083-07:00Good post.

I cringe every time I see "alot" (and I see it a lot) and frequently feel the need to rant about the atrocities committed to our hapless, helpless language. Poor English, getting so mangled by the ignorant (or stupid. The difference? Ignorance is curable. Let's hope most of the errors are caused by ignorance, and those who make them will learn!)Kimiko&Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06417528992603977310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428247.post-56490690556981880592010-03-17T06:07:26.624-07:002010-03-17T06:07:26.624-07:00I'm guilty in so many ways. it's awful.
